D’après les lignes de Guillevic (2011)

D’après les lignes de Guillevic/After lines by Guillevic is a three-movement work partly informed by the work of the French poet Eugene Guillevic (1907-97).

This work was commissioned by Paul Marleyn for the International Cello Festival of Canada and is approximately 10 minutes in duration. D’après les lignes de Guillevic
was premiered in Winnipeg on June 19, 2011 by cellists Denise Djokic, Thomas Wiebe, and Brian J. Yoon. I would like to thank Paul and the ICFC, as well as these wonderful performers, for their artistry, enthusiasm and support.
